Chitting potatoes – I’ve had to risk it
I think some of our seed potatoes have been saved by this blog post. I decided to write this week’s post about how I’ve been contemplating moving our potatoes from the sack they’ve been stored in in the garage to the greenhouse.

Damage from storm Otto & more tidying up
It’s been a windy few days following the arrival and departure of storm Otto. The main storm itself didn’t last all that long but with a highest gust speed of 36mph it made it into my listing of windiest days of the last 14 years based on gust speed alone.

Experimental red onions
We’ve always had trouble growing red onions. We had always grown our onions from sets and red sets had never performed as well as the brown ones. They’d be grown alongside one another and given the same treatment so we could never decide exactly what we were doing wrong. When we harvested our usual poor crop of red onions in 2020 we decided we’d had enough of trying to grow reds and we’d stick to the brown varieties in 2021.
